Assistance Layer in a P2P Scenario
نویسندگان
چکیده
Usually, MAS design and implementation involves a coordination model that structures agent interactions and an infrastructure in charge of enacting it. We propose the term Coordination Support to denote the services offered by this infrastructure. Such services can be grouped in different layers. We propose an additional Assistance layer devoted to assist coordination rather than just to enable it. This layer is illustrated by means of a Peer-to-Peer sharing network (P2P) scenario, so that the benefits of our proposal can be empirically evaluated.

Norm Adaptation using a Two-Level Multi-Agent System Architecture in a Peer-to-Peer Scenario
Existing organisational centred multi-agent systems (MAS) regulate agents’ activities. Nevertheless, population and/or environmental changes may lead to a poor fulfilment of the system’s purposes, and therefore, adapting the whole organisation becomes key. This is even more needed in open MAS, where participants are unknown beforehand, they may change over time, and there are no guarantees abou...
متن کاملCross-layer Packet-dependant OFDM Scheduling Based on Proportional Fairness
This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...

SM4All project investigates an innovative middleware platform for inter-working of smart embedded services in immersive and person-centric environments, through the use of composability and semantic techniques for dynamic service reconfiguration. By leveraging P2P technologies, the platform is inherently scalable and able to resist to devices’churn and failures, while preserving the privacy of ...
متن کاملA Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory
The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...
متن کاملP2P Network Trust Management Survey
Peer-to-peer applications (P2P) are no longer limited to home users, and start being accepted in academic and corporate environments. While file sharing and instant messaging applications are the most traditional examples, they are no longer the only ones benefiting from the potential advantages of P2P networks. For example, network file storage, data transmission, distributed computing, and co...
